Sutton County was created from
Crockett County by an act of the Texas legislature in 1887, and was organized three years later. It was named for Col.
John S. Sutton, a confederate officer who lost his life during the Sibley's Civil War Expedition. Sonora, the only town
in the county was laid out in 1888 and was selected as the county seat in 1889. The city was officially incorporated in
1917. The estimated population of the county in 2004 was 4, 097, in 2010 it was 4, 128.. Sonora is located 66 miles
south of San Angelo, 91 miles north of Del Rio on the Mexican border and 175 miles west of San Antonio. Interstate 10
runs just north of town and outside of town are the Caverns of Sonora,
some seven miles of caves with exotic limestone formations, which are visited by thousands of people
annually.
